I am a man who grew up with little faith but found myself lost in MYSELF. It took 31 years for me to come to understand that there is something far great than me out there. It was someone who wanted me even more than I wanted him in my life. His name was Jesus Christ and he Suffered for me Far Greater than i EVER understood.

We are not alone, really!
Well its been forever since I have been on my own Blog. Well its been awhile since I have done a lot of things. I recently went through the entire RCIA classes at my local Parrish and was all ready to come into the church when a Road Block hit me one week before Easter Weekend. It turns out that my wife and I were not married in the Church or in a marriage that is recognizable by the church since my wife a catholic married me at a justice of the peace. Whoops, a minor detail not brought to my attention until one week before. Needless to say this was amazingly frustrating and I was floored. It caused me to really question what the heck I was doing and why. I went almost 5 weeks with out going to Church and even reading my bible. I separated myself from God and even fell back into some bad habits.
Things have been extremely off for me the past 6 weeks. I have had tons of struggles with fear and doubt and stress. Money has never been tighter for us and I have never felt as helpless as I have during the past 6 weeks. I have always been a winner and for the most part a success. This is the first time in my life I felt like I cant fix this. So I finally made the decision to take my ass back to church and dust of my bible and update my bible apps on my iphone. It was time for me to look to someone else for help.I am not here to tell you I went to church and my bills are now caught up and life is all sugar plums and butterflies, No it is not. I am just as worse as I was and I still have moments of stress and fear and doubt but I will tell you its totally different. The other weekend the Priest Father Frank gave a great Homily that just moved me. It was so simple but so true. The message was I am worth something. God gave us himself, his son and the holy spirit to look towards when we have fear and death. The Trinity is the gift that God gave his people to prop us up in times of need. No one ever said it would be easy, but knowing we have some amazing support maybe we can release some of this burden and place it upon him to help guide us through the wilderness off life. I know I will fall and fail from time to time but it is good to know that I have a God and a Church to always turn to for help and guidance. I am now renewing my vow to come into the Church in accordance with Church doctrine and one day I will take the Eucharist and have the fullness of the Church in my life.

Life of a New Man!
This is the Scripture I will memorize and take to heart for the New Year. There is a time one has to change. Words can only go so far, action is what it takes. That the biggest problem with New Years Resolutions. Its all about what you WILL do and do YOU have enough strength to succeed. I have failed so much in my life at doing certain changes. The one thing I can say is that my knowledge of God and the closeness I have to God is something that has gone from None at all to almost Getting there. Which in its own right is awesome. There is a lot to be done still. So here is the Scripture that will be mine to keep in my HEART this year.
From the letter to the Colossians
3:5-16
"Life of a new man"
Put to death whatever in your nature is rooted in earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desires, and that lust which is idolatry. These are the sins which provoke God’s wrath. Your own conduct was once of this sort, when these sins were your very life. You must put that aside now: all the anger and quick temper, the malice, the insults, the foul language.
Stop lying to one another. What you have done is put aside your old self with its past deeds and put on a new man, one who grows in knowledge as he is formed anew in the image of his Creator. There is no Greek or Jew here, circumcised or uncircumcised, foreigner, Scythian, slave, or freeman. Rather, Christ is everything in all of you.
Because you are God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with heartfelt mercy, with kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another; forgive whatever grievances you have against one another. Forgive as the Lord has forgiven you.
Over all these virtues put on love, which binds the rest together and makes them perfect. Christ’s peace must reign in your hearts, since as members of the one body you have been called to that peace. Dedicate yourselves to thankfulness. Let the word of Christ, rich as it is, dwell in you. In wisdom made perfect, instruct and admonish one another. Sing gratefully to God from your hearts in psalms, hymns, and inspired songs.
